I have a control Priest Dragon deck as well, and have more trouble climbing the ladder with that than almost any other deck I use for other roles. Lots of arrgo or secret paladins/hunters and the like just do too much damage before I can get control, so finishing me off is just a few charge minions away. So don't worry Neto, you're not alone.

I managed to get a priest deck up to rank 5 last month, so it is possible. I dont have the legendaries you do, just Loatheb.

The basic strategy when running into lots of aggro decks is 1) AOE - which you have lots of, 2) healing, and 3) steal their minions. I use a cabal shadow priest and mind control tech to do that, you might also want a shadow word pain in there to deal with annoying minions with a low attack value before they get out of control. Stealing a paladin's secret keeper when its first played can put a kink in their plans.

Actually, Pain causes you to lose tempo, especially with those sticky minions such as Creeper. Early game minions are much more valuable. From my experience, i can recommend Chow or Deathlord.

Have you manage to got up the ladder with any priest deck?

No, but I only play casually and don't worry about rankings too much. I bounce around from one class to the next too much just trying to complete the daily quests. That said I have played a couple different Priest decks, the dragon oriented one seems the most consistent. I just can't get the right cards in my hand when faced with arrgo decks (ie no AoE when I need it, or all large minions with my small ones stuck at the bottom of my deck).
